Walmart Nazi Tshirt Watch: Day 66

Sixty-six days after t-shirts bearing Nazi insignia were discovered in Walmart, the retailer has yet to remove them from all their stores, despite initial promises to do so within days.

“I found the following Nazi shirt at the Santa Maria, CA store today (01/16/07 3PM) and it was most likely the only one as I glanced around and didn’t see any others right way.. It was folded up. I didn’t want to try buying it even though I know many others had a chance to do so I took a picture with my cell phone. I have been following this story for a while now and I didn’t think I would find one. I was surprised that I did! “

The story has taken on a life of its own. Chuga chuga, choo, choo. — BEN POPKEN

If I ever have the misfortune of finding myself in Concord, New Hampshire Wal-Mart, I will have to look. Since the beginning of these Nazi shirt blogs, I think I have been in Wal-Mart once, and that was because my g/f wanted to go and spend some of HER money there.

How are they expecting to run out of stock if they won’t let you buy one? At least without tricking the sales person. There are no Wally worlds here in Manhattan, so I’m interested to see if Walmart ever keeps their word. I’m also for a Consumerist follow up, curious to hear their excuse. Maybe you could get that Walmart PR goon Krempasky to comment.

You know I have to confess, when you guys started posting on this shirt I thought to myself “What’s the big deal, something slipped through and it (the shirt) will be gone within a day.” Then when you kept harping on it after a week or so I was thinking, “A few slipped through, big deal.” But sheesh how long does it take to pull some freaking shirts off the shelves? 66 days? The durn things have probaby been restocked a few times. This is getting ridiculous on Walmart’s part. I know they are a big company and I can cut them some slack for information taking a while to filter down but…
